On Consensus Strings in Text Analysis
The present paper is a pilot study introducing a concept of computational biology – the closest string problem (CSP) – into linguistics. In quantitative studies, texts can be represented as sequences, and for any given set of sequences one can solve a CSP. The solution is called a consensus string (CS), which is a sequence that is „as close as possible to all the given strings“. In this article we solve some CSP’s resulting from the study of a Hu…
A Sequential Activity Measure for Texts and Speeches
We introduce a new indicator for activity in written or spoken language, defined by the number of verbs appearing before the adjectives. The concept is applied to Italian presidential speeches
Forms and Degrees of Repetition in Texts
The present volume presents objective methods to detect and analyse various forms of repetitions. Repetition of textual elements is more than a superficial phenomenon. It may even be considered as constitutive for units and relations in a text: on a primary level when no other way exists to establish a unit – as in a musical composition (a motif can be recognised as such only after at least one repetition) – and on a secondary, artistic level, wh…
Morphological complexity of the word
Although there is much linguistic work concerning morphological complexity of words no study tries to scale their physical form. In this paper firstly we present a scaling of word's morphological complexity considering reduplication, compounding, derivation, inflection and suppletivism. Secondly we show some quantitative analyses of morphological complexity with respect to arc, motif, and distances of words in a Slovak poem as an example
Supra-sentence levels
Sentence is the highest linguistic level for a grammarian. However, a text may be subdivided in units which may but need not consist of sentences. The article concerns the intermediate space between text and sentence and searches for possible supra-sentence entities. At the same time, it shows their interrelations whose mathematization could lead to a special aspect of text theory
Obituary
Descriptivity in Slovak Lyrics
The aim of the article is to introduce the measurement of “activity” and “descriptivity” of a text based on the proportions of adjectives and verbs. Functions based on interaction of forces, tests for significance of a property and for comparison of two texts are introduced. The methods are applied to the poetry of the Slovak poetess Eva Bachletová
Structural conservatism and innovation in texts
Word forms, style and typology
Ord ́s criterion in musical texts
Problems in Quantitative Linguistics 1
Zipf’s law—another view
Quantitative Linguistik
Over the past two decades, statistical and other quantitative concepts, models and methods have been increasingly gaining importance and interest in all areas of linguistics and text analysis, as well as in a number of neighboring disciplines and areas of application. The term "quantitative linguistics" comprises all scientific and technical approaches which use such terms and methods in the analysis of or work with language(s), texts and other r…

Probability Distributions of Syntactic Units and Properties ∗
In Köhler (1999), an attempt was made to set up a basic functional-analytic model of a syntactic subsystem in the framework of synergetic linguistics. In that paper, functional dependencies among selected properties, viz. frequency, complexity, length, depth of embedding, and information, and the quantities polyfunctionality and synfunctionality are postulated, derived, and empirically tested on data from the Susanne corpus (Sampson, 1995). The a…
